Broncos forced into embarrassing apology over Reynolds farce

A nightmare week for the Broncos hit an all-time low on Thursday night as their attempt to farewell Adam Reynolds became farcical.

After a 46-20 defeat to Storm - the Brisbane side's ninth straight home defeat - the club opted to give away a car over farewelling a legend and other departing players.

Lacking any kind of fanfare or pomp, the club was forced into an embarrassing apology on Friday morning.

“The Brisbane Broncos apologise to our members and fans for not showing Adam Reynolds’ full lap of honour on the Suncorp Stadium screens last night,” the statement read.

“A power outage affecting the stadium screens earlier in the program, for which Suncorp Stadium has apologised and are investigating, occurred without a contingency in place.

“This meant we were running behind schedule and were also unable to show some of the planned tribute content.

“While trying to get the game-day program back on track, a decision was made to proceed with a scheduled Kia giveaway member activation.

“We got that call wrong.

“Adam’s lap of honour was a significant moment for our club and our fans, and it should have been prioritised.

“We sincerely apologise and thank everyone who came to Suncorp Stadium and stood by the team, our captain and our other departing players last night.

“We are particularly grateful to everyone who stayed after the final whistle to join us in recognising Adam and our departing players.”

Corey Parker was furious with the lack of effort.

"I'm expecting a montage, some accolades to all the departing players," he said on SENQ. "Nothing. Zero. they're doing a lap around the field pre-game and while that's going on, they're giving away a car. There's a draw going on. I couldn't believe it.

"Not one of the players leaving has been recognised on the screen except Reynolds.

"After the game they did something different but I didn't hang around for that most people had nicked off."
